1 Kings 10:18-23

18Moreover, the king made a great throne of 1ivory and overlaid it with refined gold. 19There were six steps to the throne and a round top to the throne at its rear, and 2arms 3on each side of the seat, and two lions standing beside the 4arms. 20Twelve lions were standing there on the six steps on the one side and on the other; nothing like it was made for any other kingdom. 21All King Solomon’s drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold. None was of silver; it was not considered 5valuable in the days of Solomon. 22For 6the king had at sea the ships of Tarshish with the ships of Hiram; once every three years the ships of Tarshish came bringing gold and silver, ivory and apes and peacocks.

237So King Solomon became greater than all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.
